A few cm over night improved the skiing. The sun came out in full force from 12 to 130 and turned the 15cm of recent snow on the crust wet on solar alpine slopes to at least 2600m. A size 0.5 natural wet loose cycle on solar aspects below rocks occured soon after. The north aspect had 8 cm on the crust and skied surprising well. The strong north winds from the last couple days make it hard to predict which slopes will ski good.
